Huh, that's interesting about that heavy pink tinting. I always assumed the 2006 barebones remaster of the Director's Cut came from the same master as the archival versions in the 5 disc set, being that it was released only a year prior. The 1997 DVD looks like dog crap on any modern television, so I probably haven't even played that since the 2006 disc came out.

I have pretty much every release of this film but I haven't really watched anything other than the Final Cut in quite a long time.

The best place for the 1997 DVD is a good ol' CRT. (Overscan also hides that cropping)

And it is very curious, makes me wonder if that was a result of all the different sources they cobbled together for the Archival Versions, branching in a differently coloured section that came from the Theatrical Cuts' elements, but a different team elsewhere used a complete Director's Cut print onhand for the 2006 disc (I assume it was quick and dirty being a limited time thing, and compared to the Collector's Edition)

I just have to ask, how common is it to find the Archival Versions Blu-ray disc in the 4K package instead of the Enhancement Archive DVD by now?

I'm curious if Amazon would send me a first batch copy in May 2018. And if it's such a crapshoot whether you get supplementary material or 4 cuts of the film, why would WB not just package the 3 discs from the 30th Anniversary in with the 4K disc, period.

I think warner honestly wants to keep the archival and workprint versions oop making them more collectable

I now own 38 editions of Blade Runner, one for every year of the film's release.

I need help.

Sounds perfectly healthy to me.

TC (1982): 3 claps - no nose pull - shot twice.

IC (1982) 2 claps - nose pull - shot thrice.

DC (1992) 3 claps - no nose pull - shot twice.

FC (2007) 2 claps - nose pull - shot thrice.

I would have liked the three claps, nose pull and shot thrice for the FC.


*EDIT: number of gunshots corrected.

Same.

Actually quick question how come that 2006 stand alone BD of the Directors Cut can’t be found anywhere?? It’s not even listed on this site. I mean obviously it’s OOP but even when I google it it doesn’t pop up.

There wasn't a standalone BD of the Director's Cut in 2006. It was only on DVD.

Can we get a photo? I just wanna know what that would look like. Or do you not keep them on the same shelf?

Where does KS's post say that the 2006 version was a Blu-ray? It wasn't, it was a DVD. Still have it somewhere.

Here you go.



This was taken late last year so it's missing a few things, but this is the vast majority of my collection. I've listed everything I own here.

I just thought it looked a little too clean for a DVD but thanks for the clarification. Plus I seem to recall some sources saying their was a 2006 BD but for all I know they could be mistaken. Easy folks!

[KevinStriker]

I don't know what else to say other than the 2006 image is 854x480 because I took the capture from my DVD.

Damn son.

First thing I looked for was the whiskey glasses and the full bottle of whiskey.
